Yet another sport is trying to elbow its way into the Miami market: Formula 1 racing. And this October, Miami will get a taste of the action when the F1 Festival makes its first-ever stop in the Magic City.
While there will be plenty of Formula 1 cars for you to gawk at, the F1 Festival is not a race. The free event is meant to be more of an introduction to Formula 1 (and hopefully garner some excitement for a proposed Miami grand prix in 2020). The F1 Festival comes to town on October 20 and 21, filling Bayfront Park with a bunch of F1-centric activities for folks to peruse. You’ll be able to hop into racing simulators, watch cars zip up and down Biscayne Boulevard and catch a live screening of the Formula 1 Pirelli 2018 United States Grand Prix on October 21. Oh, and Diplo and Mark Ronson will be performing live—for free—on Saturday night under their collaborative moniker Silk City.
The festivities start at noon and run till 10pm on Saturday and 7pm on Sunday. Miami will be the fourth international city to host an F1 Festival and if all goes well we might very well be seeing a lot more of these fast little dudes around Miami for years to come.
